Democratic State Convention.

The Democratic State convention
was held at Detroit, on Tuesday of last
week, and straight ticket nominated.
The Greenback State convention
met at Lansing the same day, and
offered to fuse with the Democrats,
provided they were allowed one-half
the ticket, and, also, dictate which
half they were to have. The ma ori-
ty of the Democratic delegates were
in favor of fusion but not on the terms
dictated by the Greenbackers. The
two conventions could not agree, and
the Democratic convention nominated
a straight Democratic ticket as fol-
lows: Levi T. Griffin, of Detroit,
and Charles III. Camp, of Saginaw,
for Justices of the Supreme Court,
and BARLEY Breen and Rufus F.
Sprague for regents.
The Greenback convention nomin-
ated O'Brien j. Atkinson, of Port
Huron, for Justice of the Supreme
Court for eight years, and w. III.
Millar, for regent, leaving one judge
and one regent to be selected by their
State committee.

auxiliary degree TO the A. o. u. w.
The members have TO drill and are
obliged TO get swords, etc. None are
admitted to the Knights unless they
are members of w. degrees of the A.
o. u. w. AT present the order con-
sists of Supreme Legion, ten Grand
Legions and 40 subordinate legions.
Any State can form a grand legion as
soon as there are ten subordinate le-
gions in its boundaries. The follow
ing States have grand legions: New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Missou-
ri, Minnesota. Kansas, Colorado,
Michigan and California. In Ontario
there are "a legions. The subordin'
ate legions, in those States which have
no grand legion, are under the juris-
diction of the Supreme legion. In
addition to the 81, 900 insurance which
member has in the A. o. u. W., he
can take out additional policies in the
Select Knights, if he desires, for one,
two or three thousand dollars-thus
making the highest insurance he can
get in the order, $4,000. The assess
ments in the Knights are made in the
same manner as in the A. o. u. w.
The Supreme beneficiary depart
ment has been in operation since 1882,
and during the four years following
1890 certificates we're issued. Dur
ing the same time there were 10 as
sessments, making the cost on a ST.
900 insurance, So per year. The Su-
preme legion was organized Sept. 9th,
1881. A member can not enter
the beneficiary departments after he
is 81 years of age. A legion must
have fifteen members before it can be
organized, and the members are to be
of sound bodily health and in good
standing in the A. o. U. w. In the
Knights there are two degrees-the
minor and select. The cost of both
is So.
The members are called select be-
cause they have stood the test of
thorough medical examination in the
A. o. U. w., and have to submit to a
second medical examination before
they can join the Knights. The term
Knight is applied because its members
are uniformed and have to drill.
A charter fee for new legion costs
800, and to obtain a Supreme bene-
fciary certificate, for $4,000, costs 81.
The grand legion beneficiary certif-
Gates are for 81 900.
